Here are some more pictures from my day. I don't know how long I'm going to be around here, maybe a few weeks, maybe a few months, maybe more. Everything is in flux. Oh, as a point of trivia the first picture is the front yard of a house I'm thinking about renting for a little while.
In other news, I have one person freaking out at me for using the word “rape” in the sense of “emotional rape” saying that by doing so I somehow “belittle” anyone who's been raped for “real” (ie. violent/phsyical) by misusing the word… They didn't seem to understand that first, emotional rape is very real (click that link and find plenty of court cases, self help sites, and so on), and second, rape does have more than one meaning — ever heard expressions like “rape of the English language” or “raping the environment“? Other than that, I've got another goofball threatening to do anything he can to hurt me (“my mother is a lawyer”) because he was removed for multiple violations.
It's funny… People are all buddy buddy, and then they think they can break the rules, and then when they find out that they can't, the threats start a-flying. Oh well. In any large crowd there are good people and there are bad people. I still think this particular crowd still has more good than bad — it just sucks that I happen to be the target for the bad ones. I guess at least I get to see people's “true colors” more than most do.
